Kent & Essex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority Brightlingsea, Essex £21,298 - £27,769 pa Paid • Full Time • Permanent www.kentandessex-ifca.gov.uk [email protected] 01843 585310 Debbie O'Shea Sectors: marine conservation Closing date: Thursday, 09 November 2017 Could you protect the waters around the Kent & Essex coast – including marine habitats and fish stocks - by enforcing key legislation? About the role In this varied role, you’ll tackle a range of work centred on marine enforcement at sea and on land. Day-to-day, you could be doing anything from inspecting boats at sea to carrying out surveys of fish stocks and habitats. You will be trained in carrying out enforcement of fisheries and MPA legislation and you’ll ensure that anyone fishing in the Kent & Essex IFCA district, either commercially or recreationally, complies with the Marine & Coastal Access Act and other marine, environmental and sea fisheries legislation. You will work closely with a range of contacts and stakeholders, carrying out inspections; collecting and recording data; and giving advice and guidance using your knowledge and understanding of the different fisheries and fishing methods in our district and the issues they face. You will be trained in the use of small RIBs and other vessels and be keen to develop the Authority’s underwater survey skills. About you To join us, you must have enthusiasm for the marine environment and a knowledge of marine issues and the fishing industry together with a strong drive to enforce rules protecting fish stocks, marine habitats and marine wildlife. You’ll combine this with good communication skills, an organised approach and a gift for teamwork and collaboration. Crucially, you must be ready to work some unsocial hours (e.g. weekends and at night) and tackle physically demanding duties in a challenging marine environment. In fact, we’ll expect you to meet the standard required to obtain a Seafarers Medical Certificate (ENG1 to be able to inspect fishing vessels both when in port and when working at sea. The first round interviews for this post will be held week commencing 4 December 2017 in Brightlingsea, Essex. If you are selected for an interview you will be expected to provide a ten minute presentation to the interview panel.

Closing date for applications: 9 November 2017 GeoTenerife is urgently looking for 14 undergraduate or recent graduates to participate in volcano monitoring programmes in the Canary Islands, due to a recent reactivation in La Palma's volcanic system. The programme is run in conjunction with the Canarian Volcanology Institute.
Twelve of these are for La Palma, due to a recent reactivation in the Cumbre Vieja volcanic system. This reactivation can result in many outcomes, including a possible eruption. Therefore, please be aware that the programme offered will need to be adapted if conditions on the ground change. Two further posts are for Gran Canaria, to finish this summer's geothermal exploration by geochemistry survey. Due to the unusual urgency of this programme, in this instance only, places will be offered on a first-come, first served basis to qualifying undergraduate or recent postgrad students from relevant courses. Please note there is a fee to participate, to cover accommodation, transport, transfers to other islands, all local fees, excursions and liability insurance for a month. To avoid confusion, from 2018 this programme will no longer be called 'Internships' and will be rebranded as a 'Field Course' under our 'Field School' banner. We are committed to offering equal opportunities and helping to train talented volcanologists. To enable access, scholarships will be offered from 2018 on our Field Course and Volcano Camps (see @GeoTscholar). Our 2018 programme will be published next month. Please see www.geotenerife.com/internships for full details.
